Posting here in case it's helpful for anyone else trying to deploy to EKS with fargate: <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-eks/issues/1007>

oh is this a good idea? I was thinking of try pulumi-operator to deploy Stacks into an EKS cluster via an EKS cluster but maybe Fargate is smarter? <@U02FZC2RE0Y> suggestions?

hi Andrew - relatively new to pulumi (and fargate fwiw) but my team has been using this approach until recently and we haven't found a way to get that working. The Pulumi AI also recommends this path but if you can send me documentation for a different approach, I'd be happy to try it out.

my original conception was to create an EKS cluster and only install the pulumi-operator in it. From there use CI/CD with github actions to define Stacks which include the application EKS cluster and child helm chart, etc, container image, so basically you encapsulate your kubernetes orchestration and production workloads as an object in pulumi-operator <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-kubernetes-operator/blob/master/docs/create-stacks-using-pulumi-ts.md>

that wouldn't address how to configure fargate successfully

(which isn't kubernetes specific, it's an AWS technology for having on-demand worker nodes vs. statically provisioned EC2 based nodes)

I think this is really smart as the pulumi-operator will do CRUD on your workloads.

I concur it does not help with getting fargate spun up.

which is what the issue I filed is in reference to :sweat_smile:

fwiw, I wrote my own Pulumi package to manage EKS to work around all the bugs in pulumi-eks
<https://github.com/lbrlabs/pulumi-lbrlabs-eks>

it creates components for fargate profiles, installs all the needed addons and some extra goodies like Karpenter

do you have a suggestion for helm releases? Latest version from pulumi is completely broken, I think I have to use a bash script.

ah I see this
```const wordpress = new kubernetes.helm.v3.Release(
  "wordpress",
  {
    chart: "wordpress",
    repositoryOpts: {
      repo: "<https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami>",
    },
    values: {
      wordpressUsername: "lbrlabs",
      wordpressPassword: "correct-horse-battery-stable",
      wordpressEmail: "<mailto:mail@lbrlabs.com|mail@lbrlabs.com>",
      ingress: {
        enabled: true,
        ingressClassName: "external",
        hostname: "wordpress.aws.briggs.work",
        tls: true,
        annotations: {
          "<http://cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer|cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer>": "letsencrypt-prod",
          "<http://nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/force-ssl-redirect|nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/force-ssl-redirect>": "true",
        },
      },
    },
  },
  {
    provider: provider,
  }
);
export const kubeconfig = cluster.kubeconfig;```

<@UCWG26BH7> this seems like a bug in a Pulumi-supported module, wouldn’t you agree?

yes, there’s quite a few - that package needs completely overhauling imo
